This must be the best located cottage in the area, and is surrounded by beautiful ancient oak woodland.The property itself is almost 400 years old and is full of charm, and sits just a few yards away from hardcastle crags a most inspiring and beautiful walk through woodland , managed by the National Trust.Hebden Bridge is a mile away and worthy of spending time there pottering around the shops or going into one of the many cafes / pubs.The town is also very dog friendly.The cottage is furnished and equipped to a very high standard.of comfort, the owners have thought of everything to enhance the experience of staying here.The trade off for such a beautiful location is that such historic buildings,, or for that matter ,any building here or in the Town are built into steep hillsides , so come with challenges for those whom may struggle with deep and steep steps and inclines, but for others this is the perfect cottage in the perfect location.Chris the owner made himself available to address any queries we had, and was very attentive and helpful throughout our stay.I really cannot praise this cottage enough….we loved everything about it,We are continuing to enjoy the many photographs we took of the views surrounding us which we took from the front garden.
